Enabling Precision Farming DockWeeder

Materials and methods

The DockWeeder project will advance the state-of-the-art in automated detection and control of broad-leaved dock :
• Detection of weeds will be improved by making use of 3-D imaging
• Weeds will be controlled by treating them with hot water
• A robust off-the-shelf autonomous vehicle will be fitted with weed detection and control
